Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a law question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Read this investigative report (Links to an external site.) on the prosecution of pregnant women who use drugs. Critically analyze these justice system responses to this issue. What purpose(s) do these laws serve? What is their history? How might they relate to other justice system responses to drugs? Who do these laws target, or who ends up affected by them? What are some alternative ways to deal with this issue, and would any of them be preferable?
